I have a Qt5 Application, in which I have defined a QxtGlobalShortcut object. This program works as expected in KDE4 or Plasma5. However, when I run this application in Cinnamon, the global keybindings do not work.

Another application written in Qt4 which contains QxtGlobalShortcut object works properly in both KDE/Plasma and Cinnamon.

Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

I'm using debian testing. Qt4 Version: 4.8.7 Qt5 Version: 5.6.1

QxtGlobalShortcut class is compiled from source. The same source is being used in both Qt4 and Qt5.

I had same issues. Sometimes global shortcut events are not caught if the application has no windows. Workaround is to create invisible dummy window.

Since Qxt in no longer maintained, I've created repository with some additional fixes (pull requests are welcome). This can be built as separate library.
